President Donald Trump railed against Paramount leadership Monday after the airing of an interview with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on 60 Minutes.
“My real problem with the show, however, wasn’t the low IQ traitor, it was that the new ownership of 60 Minutes, Paramount, would allow a show like this to air. THEY ARE NO BETTER THAN THE OLD OWNERSHIP, who just paid me millions of Dollars for FAKE REPORTING about your favorite President, ME! Since they bought it, 60 Minutes has actually gotten WORSE,” Trump posted on Truth social.
The comments come just as Paramount launched a hostile offer for Warner Bros. Discovery Monday, which may spell trouble for the company should Warner Bros. take up the offer. Netflix had been announced as the winning bidder for the company’s studio assets Friday.
Netflix reportedly shored up support from Trump ahead of the bid, with co-CEO Ted Sarandos meeting with the President. On Sunday, Trump called Sarandos “fantastic” and said Netflix is a “great company,” but he also said the merger would create “very big market share” and “could be a problem.”
In the post on Truth Social, Trump attacked both Green, who said “reminds me of a Rotten Apple! Marjorie is not AMERICA FIRST or MAGA” and 60 Minutes Correspondent Lesley Stahl who she said owes him an apology for their reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop. Stahl had initially said that she wouldn’t cover the laptop story because it couldn’t be verified and then later covered the story.
“The only reason Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown (Green turns Brown under stress!) went BAD is that she was JILTED by the President of the United States (Certainly not the first time she has been jilted!). Too much work, not enough time, and her ideas are, NOW, really BAD – She sort of reminds me of a Rotten Apple! Marjorie is not AMERICA FIRST or MAGA, because nobody could have changed her views so fast, and her new views are those of a very dumb person,” the post reads.
“That was proven last night when washed up, Trump hating, 60 Minutes “correspondent,” Lesley Stahl, who still owes me an apology from when she attacked me on the show (with serious conviction!), that Hunter Biden’s LAPTOP FROM HELL was produced by Russia, not Hunter himself (TOTALLY PROVEN WRONG!), interviewed a very poorly prepared Traitor, who in her confusion made many really stupid statements,” the post continues.
